Here is the two swift files I came up with.
//
// videoFeed.swift
// GetData
//
// Created by Gregory Kaiser on 9/6/22.
//
import Foundation
struct videoFeed: Codable {
var error: Bool
var message: String?
struct response: Codable{
var totalRows: String?
var rows: [row]
}
Here is the second one
//
// vids.swift
// GetData
//
// Created by Gregory Kaiser on 9/6/22.
//
import Foundation
struct row: Codable {
var title:String?
var desciption:String?
var Poster:String?
struct videos: Codable {
struct mp4: Codable {
var _480: String?
}
}
}
Can someone tell me if these are correct? And how do I access each item grabbing the link in videos.mp4.480?
Thank you!

Thank you so much for responding! So the missing 'h' was me removing it. I copied the JSON into Word with the hopes of covering up the private information and the urls and removed the 'h' to stop it appearing as link. When you a little bit of work that didn't need up working when attaching here. :-(
I have been watching/researching online to learn Swift and somebody suggesting making things optional if you are not sure if the key is always present.
I believe row is an array. It has 22 items.
Thank you for the tutorial! I will have a look.
So I changed the structure in attempt to follow the hierarchal tree because I keep getting nil when trying to print out what I thought would be the title. I have trying a lot of different lines of code just to print out one of the key value pairs. With no luck. Keep getting nil. I must be doing something wrong. Can some one help?
Here is the update swift file containing the structures.
//
// claude31.swift
// GetData
//
// Created by Gregory Kaiser on 9/8/22.
//
import Foundation
struct MP4: Codable {
var _480: String?
}
struct Videos: Codable {
var mp4: MP4?
}
struct ROWS: Codable {
var title:String?
var description:String?
var Poster:String?
}
struct RESP: Codable{
var totalRows: Int
var rows: [ROWS]
}
struct Kaiserclixresponse : Codable {
var error: Bool
var message: String?
var resp: RESP
}
Here is the viewController code trying to access the JSON
//
// ViewController.swift
// GetData
//
// Created by Gregory Kaiser on 9/6/22.
//
import UIKit
class ViewController: UIViewController {
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
// Do any additional setup after loading the view.
// Hit the API endpoint
guard let url = URL(string:"https://videos.kaiserclix.com/AVideo/plugin/API/get.json.php?APIName=video&user=gkaiser63@gmail.com&pass=abc123") else {
fatalError("Invalid URL")
}
URLSession.shared.dataTask(with: url) { (data, response, error) in
// Check for errors
guard let data = data, error == nil else {
return
}
//Parse JSON
let result = try? JSONDecoder().decode(Kaiserclixresponse.self, from: data)
if let result = result {
print(result.resp.rows[0].Poster!)
}
}.resume()
}
}
Thank you! Greatly appreciated! Changing resp to response worked! I am pretty sure I read/heard the var names didn't have to match the JSON key names and I was seeing issues with a variable name response so I shortened it to resp.
Take care!
So I was successfully able to decode the JSON and I parse it but now I am having issues copying everything to array so I can assign them to UIImageView, UILabel and UIButton.
Can someone help again?
Here is the array definition
var videos: [String] = []
Here it the loop.
let result = try? JSONDecoder().decode(Kaiserclixresponse.self, from: data)
if let result = result {
result.response.rows.forEach {
let movie = $0
videos.append(movie)
{
but I keep getting
No exact matches in call to instance method 'append'
Open to suggestions on a better way of doing this.
Thank you! I appreciate the response!
I tried and I am getting the following:
Value of optional type 'AnyObject?' must be unwrapped to refer to member 'subscript' of wrapped base type 'AnyObject'
Chain the optional using '?' to access member 'subscript' only for non-'nil' base values
Force-unwrap using '!' to abort execution if the optional value contains 'nil'
Value of type 'Any??' has no subscripts
I add '?' in between videos and mp4 like the error above suggestions and I get the following:
Value of type 'Any??' has no subscripts
So here my current code.
if let link = movieDict["videos"]?["mp4"]?["480"]? as? String? {
print(link)
self.videoLink = link
}
It is getting:
Type of expression is ambiguous without more context
